Howard Fishman: Better Get Right CD Release
Show Description
Howard Fishman returns to celebrate the release of his latest CD, Better Get Right. The first part of a trilogy of records that Fishman will release this year, Better Get Right is Fishman’s love letter to New Orleans, his adopted home when just starting out as a struggling street musician in the mid-90’s, and features the singer/guitarist/bandleader backed by a funky New Orleans street-style brass band.
Often compared to artists like Lou Reed, Beck, Talking Heads and Jonathan Richman, Fishman brings a punk-like vitality and edge to his almost encyclopedic familiarity with diverse musical forms to create “an irresistible synthesis” (Backstage) that truly is “something entirely new” (Downbeat.) He made his debut at the Algonquin Oak Room in 1999, and has since headlined in major venues both here and abroad, including Lincoln Center, Joe’s Pub, The Steppenwolf Theatre, The Pasadena Playhouse, NJPAC and Le Petit Journal in Paris. He maintains a full-time touring schedule, including recent dates with singer/songwriter Nellie McKay in San Francisco, Seattle and New York City.
